The Hino 500 Series Wide Cab

The astonishing Hino 500 Series Wide Cab redefines what to expect from a hard working truck. Its unrivalled build quality delivers next level chassis, suspension and axles. You also have more engine and transmission options to choose from including the 6 speed Allison automatic transmission.

In fact, this is the most comprehensive active safety package ever offered by a Japanese truck in the medium duty category. In an Australian-first for this class, Vehicle Stability Control is now standard across the new Wide Cab range.

All this complemented by a level of driver comfort you never thought possible.

And because we’re driven to do more for you, you’ll also have Hino Advantage – our innovative new range of business building support solutions – along for the ride.
